GOLDESBERRY GALLERY - OPENING: SEPT 13TH - 6:00 - 8:00PM

NOI VOLKOV

New Art History
Goldesberry Gallery is proud to present ceramic sculpture by Noi Volkov.  The
exhibition opens Saturday, September 13, with an open house at 11 a.m.,
followed by an opening reception from 6 - 8 p.m.

For his second exhibition with Goldesberry Gallery, Volkov continues his
whimsical exploration of art history via ceramic figures. "Art history has always
been a passion of mine," says Volkov. "My work," he continues, "depicts famous
works, artists, and artistic movements in various ways to illustrate their influence
on the art world." Volkov mixes artists together in unexpected ways, but there is
always an artistic thread that binds them together. His work is a tribute to all the
artists that inspire him. His work is also intended to put emphasis back on past
masters in a playful, unexpected way.

Volkov fabricates work by hand that merges his abilities in ceramics and
painting.  Combining painterly marks and color in a three-dimensional form
provides him with a whole new direction to explore and develop.  This love of
art history and exploration of interesting glazes and forms lead to the creation of
his unique personal style.

Born in Russia in 1947, Volkov graduated with a MFA in Fine Art and Ceramics in
1973.  He has lived in Maryland since 1990.  His work is in many prestigious public
and private collections including the Mint Museum, Fine Arts Museum of San
Francisco, Arkansas Art Center, Arizona State Museum, and the National
Museum of Ceramics in Kiev, Ukraine.  Volkov's work has been shown in such
publications as Artnews, Ceramics Monthly, Craft Report, and Baltimore Sun.

The exhibition continues through October 18, 2008.

Since 1991 Goldesberry Gallery has been Houston 's premier gallery for work in
craft media including ceramics, glass, and unique hand-crafted jewelry.  The
gallery is located at 2625 Colquitt on "Gallery Row" in the Upper Kirby District.
